Truck Driver Fined $6K for 32-Hour Drive

0:00It's April 7th. This is Canada News Today, powered by AI. I'm Cory with the story. Traffic cops in the Quebec City area pulled over a heavy-duty truck driver who'd been behind the wheel for 32 straight hours, skipping the required 8 hours of rest. The stop in Stoneham led to 8 tickets hitting nearly $6,000 for the guy from a Montreal company. Inspectors also found an undeclared backup driver who blown past his own hour limits too. This road safety agency calls these major breaches that put everyone at risk on the highways. Their Tuesday press release spelled it out fines for fake logs and ignoring drive-rest rules. They're keeping the heat on to stop fatigued drivers from rolling the dice with lives.
